A Brockton woman is facing multiple charges, including two counts of assault and battery by means of a dangerous weapon and two counts of assault and battery with intent to kill, after allegedly running down two motorcyclists in what police officials are calling a case of domestic assault.

Easton Police were called to the parking lot of the Easton Crossing condominium complex in South Easton about 10 a.m. on Oct. 23 after receiving a 911 call reporting that two motorcyclists had been run down by another motorist.

A woman, identified as 36-year-old Valerie Mabry of 4 Fairmount Drive in Brockton, had allegedly become angered after seeing her boyfriend and another female sitting on separate motorcycles in the parking lot of 7 Nancy Road in the Easton Crossing condominium complex, according to police reports.

Mabry approached the pair on foot, reportedly scratching the male victim’s face before extending her hand toward the female party in an attempt to shake her hand. Mabry allegedly told the other female that she did not have a problem with her before getting into her vehicle, a 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix, and driving away.

Shortly thereafter, Mabry returned in her motor vehicle and intentionally drove it toward the male and female motorcyclists, jumping the curb and driving it onto the parking lot lawn during the attack.

According to Easton Police Chief Allen Krajcik, an off-duty Stoughton police sergeant who had witnessed the assault detained Mabry while Easton Police were en route to the scene.

The female victim sustained a leg injury and was transported by Easton Fire Department to Good Samaritan Hospital in Brockton.

“Her injuries were not serious, fortunately,” Krajcik said.

The male victim was not injured, but the victims’ motorcycles and several other vehicles that had been parked in the lot at the time of the incident were damaged.

Mabry was arrested by Easton Police Officer Robert Tuohy and charged with two counts of assault and battery by means of a dangerous weapon (a vehicle), one count of domestic assault and battery, one count of driving to endanger, three counts of malicious damage to property, and two counts of assault and battery with attempt to kill.

Mabry was arraigned in Taunton District Court Friday, and her bail was set at $2,500. No information regarding whether she had been released was available Monday.
